15 Sex Positions To Try This Weekend

Predictability is a good thing sometimes. I like knowing my electric bill always stays under $22 (the perk of living in a 300 sq. ft. studio), that my dad is basically always available on Sunday afternoons for a phone call, and that I can always re-watch episodes of Gilmore Girls on Netflix during work-from-home days. There’s something about knowing you don’t have to worry about something, that it’ll just always be the same way. 

Sex isn’t necessarily one of those things.

Getting into a sexual routine in a relationship is inevitable. We like what we like! But after a while, doing the same old stuff gets boring, and we all know what happens when sex with our partner gets boring: both parties are irritable, frustrated, and insatiably horny (so much so that your sex drive can even drop). The easiest way to get out of a routine is, without a doubt, trying a new position. It’s the timeless way to make sex fun and exciting without really having to experiment all that much (I will always recommend switching things up to keep your sex life spicy, don’t get me wrong). 

These aren’t positions that will “make him go crazy”; these are positions that will enhance your’s and your partner’s pleasure. So, what do you have to lose? Whether you’ve already tried these and forgot about them or just want a slight variation of your usual missionary (no shame, missionary is h-o-t), we’ve got you covered.

 

15 Sex Positions To Try

 

1. Cowgirl

Obviously a basic, but a lot of people are uncomfortable on top, whether it being their body or not knowing what to do. If this is a new position to you, try putting your legs in different positions to see which is the most comfortable for you. Straight straddling can be a workout on your inner thighs, so try kicking one leg out to the side. If you’re having sex with someone with a penis, have them put one knee out as well and see if it’s easier for your body to accommodate to their legs being spread out a little bit.

If sex can be painful for you, getting to sit on top is ideal, as you can control the depth, the speed, and the pressure. Another way to make this easier on your knees and thighs is having your partner support your back with his legs bent at the knees. If you’re into this position but want to spice it up just a tiny bit more, go for a reverse cowgirl (turning around so your back is to your partner’s face) instead!

 

2. Legs Above the Shoulders

This is something people shy away from if they don’t think they’re flexible enough, but you’d be surprised! This position doesn’t require insane flexibility, but it is helpful if your partner helps you. This is a good one because it pushes your legs together, making your vagina tighter and convulse around their penis or fingers. This position is nicknamed the “G-Whiz” because it makes hitting your G-spot so easy. (I hope this one just made it to the top of your list!) 

Have your partner come as close to you as they can in missionary and then lift up your legs, using their shoulders and chest to hold them up (see, you don’t have to be that flexible). 

 

3. X Marks the Spot

This move gives you deep penetration and increases your chance of having an internal orgasm because of the angle the penetration is coming from, and the best part is that it requires minimal exertion from the penetrating partner. Find a flat surface—like a bed or table—and have the receiving partner lay flat on their back with their legs in the air crossed at the knees or ankles (whichever is more comfortable). From there, the penetrating partner can use their partner’s legs to pull themselves in deep.

 

4. Pretzel Missionary 

If you have a vulva, set yourself up as you would as a bottom for standard missionary. Have your partner lean over you, placing their hands on either side of your face, then wrap your legs around their back, crossing your legs at the ankles to resemble the salty snack (hence the position’s namesake). This slight change in positioning will give the penetrating partner deeper access, which in turn will provide you with more internal G-spot stimulation. 

 

5. Oral Sex: Knees to Chest

Getting in a rut with oral sex positions is very real. So, do what your waxer says and try bending your knees to your chest. It might feel awkward at first, but it’s a new way for your partner to get all in the goods. It can also be a very loose form of bondage. Your hands are too busy holding your legs in place to be touching your partner or telling them exactly what to do. 

 

6. Sitting Face-to-Face

You can do this position on a bed, on a couch, or in a chair. The face-to-face of this position allows you to connect with your partner and is obviously super sexy. Experiment with them sitting all the way up and you on top, straddling them, or you can try you sitting up against a chair and them penetrating from the front. You could also try wrapping your legs around them; this allows you to get even closer and more intimate, and it makes doing your kegels while they’re inside you super easy (and super, super hot). 

 

7. Spooning

This is a great position to try in the morning *wink wink*. If you’re having sex with a person with a penis, obviously, you’ll want to be the little spoon position, but you could be big or little spoon if you’re having penetrative sex with fingers. This allows you and your partner to get super close. The penis or fingers are coming from a different angle, so it might feel different and hit your G-spot more easily. Woohoo on that! If it’s easier, you can lift up your top leg here as well.

 

8. The Mixing Spoon

Perfect for doing under a blanket, on a lazy Sunday, or while you’re watching Netflix—the mixing spoon is like spooning but better. It throws a vibrator into the mix and grants the giving partner direct access to the erogenous zones. So, grab your favorite vibrator and set yourself up like you normally would for spooning. Then, have the receiving partner splay their legs wide open, bending their knees up to their chest or wrapping their legs behind their partner’s legs behind them. From here, the giving partner can place the vibrator accordingly.

For vulva owners acting as the little spoon, you’ll want to have your partner put the sex toy directly on your clitoris for prime clitoral stimulation. You can also up the ante and add in some penetration, though that’s totally optional. However, direct internal stimulation combined with external stimulation from the vibrator is a surefire way to climax.

 

9. The Bridge

This can be done for penetrative or oral sex. We all know what a glute bridge looks like, right? Basically, this position requires holding a glute bridge in the typical missionary position. The elevation allows your partner to get deeper and puts your vagina in a different position. This one also gives easy access for your partner (or you) to stimulate the clitoris while penetrating or going down on you. All wins for everyone involved if you ask me.

 

10. The Ankle Choker

Looking for a good stretch and some energy? You’ve come to the right place. If you have a vulva, lay on your back and have your partner get on their knees. While they’re lifting you up, wrap your ankles around their head and the rest is all about finding a speed and rhythm that’ll beat your alarm. 

This is a great position for couples who both enjoy being dominant. They can lift or drop your hips any way they want, and you can tighten your ankle grip to give direction. 

 

11. Oral Sex: Rolling On Your Side

This works for both giving and receiving oral sex. If you’re giving, have your partner lay on their side while you’re facing them. This could be at the edge of the bed or in the middle with you laying on your side as well (this could also entail every middle schooler’s favorite number, the 69 position!) If you’re receiving, you could follow the same steps: lay on your side and have your partner come from the side. This will look differently depending on your anatomy as well as the person you’re giving oral sex to, but the main focus here is switching perspectives so you’re not directly facing each other. Again, we’re trying to change the angle to hit different parts of both the clitoris and the penis, so keep that in mind as you’re trying this position. The views are also quite good in this position, so you’re bound to both be super turned on.

 

12. Hands Behind Ankles

You’ll definitely be able to skip your yoga class with this one. Think of it like a pilates move meets doggy style. With careful maneuvering, the penetrating partner gets behind the receiving one, who then pulls their legs into a back stretch of the century (go as far as you can!). Ideal for dirty talk, this position is great for providing amazing anal or vaginal penetration. If you’re more on the kinky side, add a pair of cuffs to the mix. There’s always time for a bit of bondage. 

 

13. Laying on the Edge of the Bed

A different twist on missionary and the legs above the shoulders position, this one involves your partner standing next to the bed while you’re laying at the edge. You can add in the legs-above-the-shoulders position here, or you can keep your legs pulled into chest, held out in a “V” shape, or whatever feels comfortable. What’s good about this position is that your partner is firmly planted on the ground, so they’re able to thrust deeper and more controlled (meaning faster or slower, whichever you prefer!).

 

14. The Linguini

Sure, the name is a little funny—but it gives serious results if you’re looking for a position that allows for much deeper penetration. However, despite the minimal skin to skin contact and closeness of this position, it can still be really intimate because both partners can look each other in the eye while they’re going at it. Have the receiving partner lie on their side while the giving partner kneels directly behind their butt with one knee between their legs and leans ever-so-slightly over their partner, using their back to steady themselves as they go in. Of course, if your partner has a penis or is using a strap-on, you’ll want to be the bottom, but if you’re using fingers or having non-penetrative sex, you can be the top or bottom.

 

15. Tawdry in the Tub

Haven’t you heard? Shower sex is so 2022. Now, it’s time for bathtub sex to take the spotlight and get the hype it deserves. This position is ideal for eye contact and intimacy, while never sacrificing penetration. Sit face-to-face with your partner, and make sure the receiving individual throws their legs over the penetrator’s shoulders. 

This is the perfect choice for starting your weekend off with a bang (literally and figuratively) or ending it on a relaxing, intimate nite with your partner.  Spice this position up by turning on the shower head and letting the water mist down on you both. Or add a blindfold to heighten the sensation.

8 Romantic Sex Positions To Try This Valentine’s Day

Graphics by: Kirra Wallace

Sure, flowers and chocolate are great and all, but getting down and dirty in the bedroom is by far the best way to celebrate the most romantic day of the year. After all, nothing will turn up the passion on February 14 quite like some steamy Valentine’s Day sex positions. And I don’t mean just any sex positions—I mean ones that will boost the romance and take it to a level you’ve never seen before.

In truth, Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to reconnect and romance yourself or someone else. And slowing things down with one of these positions is the perfect way to do just that.

Allow me to introduce to you 8 Valentine’s Day sex positions that just scream “romance.” Whether you’re staying in, planning a sexy after-party, or flying solo, these moves will help you celebrate the day of love in style. Keep on reading to learn more.

 

1. The Hors D’oeuvres Tray

Consider this position your aperitivo for the night: It’ll open up your body and your partner’s, and get you both ready for what’s to come (literally and figuratively). This is all about taking your time and engaging in some steamy foreplay and oral action, so give yourselves the chance to really linger and explore one another. Kiss and touch everywhere, feed one another chocolate-covered strawberries, lay in a bed of rose petals together—the choice is yours! Enjoy and get creative with the buildup and anticipation.

Once you’ve taken the time to do a little exploration, you can then move onto some oral action. Have your partner stimulate you with their mouth, use yours to work your magic on them, or pleasure each other orally simultaneously. Use this as an opportunity to have your first climax of the night or play around with edging (AKA orgasm control).

 

2. Missionary

Missionary is a classic for a reason. Not only does it feel incredible, but it’s also super intimate because you’re looking into each other’s eyes the whole time. So, lie flat on your back and have your partner climb on top, facing you as they enter. Being able to simply hold each other close, stare into their eyes, kiss, touch, or whisper dirty or sweet nothings to each other while you’re having sex will feel extra romantic on Valentine’s Day.

If you want to play around with different angles of penetration in this position, try bending your knees and wrapping your legs around your partner’s back, propping your legs up on their shoulders, or placing a pillow underneath your butt. These slight changes will let you experience different sensations and still keep that intimacy with your partner.

 

3. The Valentine’s Feast

Whether you’ve been sneaking glances at each other since the moment you woke up or just walked through the door, this position is perfect for when you just can’t wait any longer. Hop onto the edge of a table or countertop, lean back slightly, and spread your legs to serve yourself up to your partner. From here, your partner can place their hands on either side of you and move in, penetrating you with their penis or a strap-on. The angle will let your partner get super deep, and gives you the option for simultaneous clitoral stimulation via your hands or a sex toy.

 

4. V-Day Celebration

Flying solo on V-Day doesn’t have to be a bad thing. In fact, it’s the perfect opportunity to romance yourself! Grab your favorite lube or stimulating oil and lie back on your bed with your legs spread into a “V” shape. From there, drench your pointer and middle fingers with your oil or lube, and keep them in a “V” shape as you slide them along the sides of your vulva. Not only will this awaken you sexually, it’ll also help you build intimacy with yourself and appreciate the beauty of what you’ve got going on down there. Once you’re fully relaxed and stimulated, finish the job with your favorite vibrator, dildo, or fingers.

 

5. The Swoon

Looking to create a sex scene straight out of a romance novel? Look no further than the swoon. This position is great for passionate, spur-of-the-moment sex or quickies if you’re pressed on time, and also works for any form of penetration from a sex toy, penis, or fingers. Lean against a wall and bring your partner close so you’re chest to chest with one another. From there, take one leg and wrap it around your partner’s hip, and have them hold onto the back of your thigh and upper back as they move in accordingly.

 

6. Pole Position

If you like to be in control or are having non-penetrative sex, this position’s for you. If you’re in the latter, it doesn’t matter if you’re top or bottom, but if you’re having sex with a penis-owner, you’ll be on top for this one. The penetrating partner will lay flat on their back with one leg extended straight out and the other bent at the knee, and the receiving partner will straddle them sideways, facing their bent leg. From there, the top partner will place one hand on the bottom’s knee and the other on their chest, and keep this position as they go to town riding or grinding and rubbing against them.

 

7. The Heart

The heart sex position is essentially the most intimate, passionate, and romantic hug you could ever receive. Your upper body is completely skin-to-skin with your partner’s, so you can really connect and build intimacy. If your partner’s doing the penetration, have them sit on a bed with their legs extended straight out in front of them. Then, climb on top and straddle them, tucking your knees under their armpits and keeping your feet flat.

Once you’ve gotten into position, have your partner place one hand on your back and the other on your butt, and wrap your arms around them however you’d like. This will help you both hold each other in place as you rock back and forth accordingly in sync with one another. (Bonus points if you climax at the same time while looking into each other’s eyes.)

 

8. The Faux Yogi

Too exhausted from your Valentine’s Day dinner? Over trying to contort your body into a pose that’s supposed to be sexy but is downright uncomfortable? Enter: the faux yogi sex position. This move blends the legs-up-the-wall yoga pose with the comfort and intimacy of standard missionary to make you look flexible AF without all the stretching, pulling, and discomfort. Plus, neither partner has to exert themselves too much for this one, so it’s a win-win all around.

If you’re receiving, lay flat on your back on the edge of a bed with your legs straight up in the air. Your partner will stay standing and hold onto either side of your legs as they pull themselves in deep using a strap-on or their penis. They’ll enjoy looking at you from above, and the angle of this position will feel amazing and increase your chances of having an internal orgasm (which you deserve to have—especially on Valentine’s Day!).
